Three-dimensional reconstruction for genomic analysis of prostate cancer

Abstract

Prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer deaths and is the most frequently detected form of cancer of males in the US. Death rate scan be greatly reduced by early treatment. Consequently, it is important to understand the cause and progression of this disease in order to improve detection and treatment methods. As part of the Cancer Genome Anatomy Project work is underway to produce a 'molecular finger print' of prostate cancer.
